I'm also bookmarking this. That way whenever some idiot goes "50w will be way too loud for home use" or "my amp is way too loud", I can just link them to this directly to this thread and tell them "hey, shut the fuck up."

I also appreciate the section on speakers. I think that truly is the biggest factor when it comes to low volume playing. My amp sounds like shit between 2-3 when run through my Jet City cab, but fine at all volumes through my Whitebox cab with V30's.

^ agreed. UG isn't perfect, but a lot of its detractors pick the absolute stupidest threads and then act like the whole forum is like that. Which isn't exactly fair. Pick the silliest thread on any forum and it's not exactly going to make it look great.

and yeah i don't know why i keep doing the car analogies, as i know nothing about them. just they seem apt most of the time

I know very little about cars as well, but I use them in analogies constantly. I think it's the one thing that just about anyone can make sense of and relate to.

Then again, I might just grab a talk box and use that. I bet you'll hear me then

You have to be pretty damn unlucky (or stupid) to get bitten by a spider.

Yeah, but stuff that is common sense to you is not something we're brought up to check for... in most of the civillised world you are unlikely to encounter a venomous spider hiding in your shoes that could kill you if you forget to shake them out as an everyday precaution

I just HATE spiders. I actively smash the hell out of every one I find. I'm no afraid of getting bit, I just really dislike spiders that are larger than around the size of the top of a pop can, that I know are venomous, or that are in my house. I like ones that just chillax outside and eat mosquitoes.
